MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia’s Interfax news agency cited a source as saying on Wednesday that the Russian embassy in Britain plans to ask for consular access to Yulia Skripal, who was poisoned together with her father, Russian former double agent Sergei Skripal.

Earlier on Wednesday Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia was in no way connected to the poisoning and remained open to cooperating with a British investigation into the case.
